Rear duplexer—The duplexer is moved by gears to pull your paper through the printer.

Remove the duplexer to check to see if it functions properly and examine the surrounding gears for damage.

Paper feed roller—The paper feed roller drops down onto the paper and feeds it into the printer. If this is not working appropriately, check to make sure you have correctly inserted the small drive gear. Inspect gears for excessive wear and replace any damaged components.

Paper tray—This is the tray that holds the paper so that the feed roller can pull it into the printer. Inspect the paper tray and replace it if it’s cracked or damaged.
